"As a fan of all 3 of these amazing women, I can’t wait to watch," Paisley shared on social media.

While plenty of fans applauded the all-women lineup, some are also disappointed that Paisley has been sidelined, at least this year.

"Totally agree - they are amazing -but you will be missed tremendously," said one fan.

"I would like to think that CMA is doing that to celebrate women country music," said another. "The fact is that you can't have a male hosting. Follow your marching orders."

"You are such a stand up guy & musician showing honor & respect for these women," one Paisley fan praised. "Enjoy the opportunity to sit back & watch the show from the audience with your amazing wife. #BPclassact"

Some wondered why Paisley couldn't join the trio of ladies in hosting the show as well.

Nominees for the CMA Awards will be announced on Wednesday, Aug. 28. The 2019 CMA Awards will air live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
